ppc/spapr: Use start-powered-off CPUState property
PowerPC sPAPR CPUs start in the halted state, and spapr_reset_vcpu() attempts to implement this by setting CPUState::halted to 1. But that's too late for the case of hotplugged CPUs in a machine configure with 2 or more threads per core. By then, other parts of QEMU have already caused the vCPU to run in an unitialized state a couple of times. For example, ppc_cpu_reset() calls ppc_tlb_invalidate_all(), which ends up calling async_run_on_cpu(). This kicks the new vCPU while it has CPUState::halted = 0, causing QEMU to issue a KVM_RUN ioctl on the new vCPU before the guest is able to make the start-cpu RTAS call to initialize its register state. This problem doesn't seem to cause visible issues for regular guests, but on a secure guest running under the Ultravisor it does. The Ultravisor relies on being able to snoop on the start-cpu RTAS call to map vCPUs to guests, and this issue causes it to see a stray vCPU that doesn't belong to any guest. Fix by setting the start-powered-off CPUState property in spapr_create_vcpu(), which makes cpu_common_reset() initialize CPUState::halted to 1 at an earlier moment.
